Definitions

  • the invention relates to warp knitting machine such as warp frame, Raschel knitting machine, sewingknitting machine or the like, and more particularly of the type having bipartite knitting needles, respectively having a hook part and a latch part displaceably mounted on the hook part, and provided with at least one needle bar for carrying the hook parts.
  • a latch bar is coordinated with each needle bar, and the reciprocating displacement of both bars are controlled so that the hooks of the needles, when forming each row of stitches or course of the knitting fabric, are closed by the latch parts in the knocking-over position and are opened in the position wherein the thread is being filled.
  • the number of patterns that are possible to be knitted with such warp knitting machines, is limited by the fact that it is not possible to effect the formation of stitches by selected needles in a selected course and the nonformation of stitches by other needles.
  • auxiliary patterning mechanisms for knitting machines such as drop plates, patterning presses for latch needles and the like, are in fact known, for attaining a greater number of possible patterns on such machines; however, these mechanisms are relatively complex and costly and, furthermore, place increased demands on the servicing of the machine.
  • a warp knitting machine with bipartite knitting needles respectively having a hook part and a latch part displaceably mounted in the hook part, and provided with at least one needle bar for the hook parts of the knitting needles, at least two entrainer bars for the latch parts, said entrainer bars being coordinated with the one needle bar, means operatively connecting a respective group of the latch parts to each of the entrainer bars so that the latch parts are actuatable thereby respectively for opening and closing the respective knitting needles, all of the latch parts being actuatable concurrently by the entrainer bars together, and a displacement mechanism connected to each of the entrainer bars respectively for independently displacing the same so as to actuate the respective latch parts operatively connected thereto.
  • the formation of various patterns is afforded by the fact that in some selected courses, the latch parts actuated by one or more entrainer bars are displaced upwardly into the closed position of the knitting needles so that the respective needles form stitches, while the latch parts actuated by the remaining entrainer bar or bars remains in the lower knocking-over position and do not close the hooks of the knitting needles but form tucks instead.
  • the displacement of the individual entrainer bars can be controlled conversely, and if desired, the displacement of all the entrainer bars can be controlled concurrently pattemwise in specific courses, which means that in such a course either all the needles form stitches or all the needles form no stitches.
  • the latch parts actuatable by the respective individual entrainer bars are located adjacent one another regularly or irregularly alternating by at least one respective latch part with one another, the entrainer bars being disposed one above the other.
  • all of the evennumbered latch parts can be actuated by one entrainer bar, and all of the odd-numbered latch parts by another entrainer bar.
  • the entrainer bars are constructed as latch bars having lead members to which all or some of the latch members are affixed.
  • each of the entrainer bars is formed with a notch or groove wherein the foot of the latch parts, which are to be actuated by the respective entrainer bars, are received.
  • the latch parts are provided with notched bars at the bottom thereof, the notched bars being slidably mounted in grooves formed in the knocking-over bar, each of the entrainer bars having a rail projecting into respective recesses formed in the notched bars of the latch parts that are to be actuated by the respective entrainer bar.
  • the latch parts are provided with notched bars at the bottom thereof, the notched bars being slidably mounted in grooves formed in the knocking-over bar, each of the entrainer bars being provided pattemwise with pins for lifting the notched bars, the needle bar having a notched bar sinker for returning the latch parts to the lower position thereof.
  • the warp knitting machine of the invention permits the production, without auxiliary devices, of warp fabrics with patterns or designs formed by blind filling, with patterns similar to pressed patterns and drop plate patterns, and with crepe patterns, and also the production of looping plush as well as combinations of the aforementioned patterns or designs in a knitted fabric.
